A transgender man who kept his female reproductive organs despite his transformation is now five months pregnant.
The Hawaii-born man related his struggles with various doctors along with family and friends in a letter published last week by The Advocate, a magazine for gays.
He had chest reconstruction surgery and began taking testosterone.
Upon deciding to have a child, he halted bimonthly hormone injections and resumed menstruating, then artificially inseminated himself with anonymous donor sperm from a sperm bank. A first attempt failed.A second attempt was successful, and he expects to deliver a girl around July 3.
